Notes

Tim’s measurements:
10 1/2” neck
14 1/2” back
4 1/2” bet. f. legs
8 1/2” chest

This is the first project I am attempting using a brick stitch on the machine.

This was turning out a little smaller than the guage swatch, so I added 4 sts to the belly/chest piece. I still think that it may be too small for Tim, but I won’t know for sure until it is seamed.

Carriage- Top levers set at “N”, bottom levers set at “H”

TD set @ 6
37 needles e-loop cast on with green. Knit 20 rows and convert to 2x2 rib.
